18 june .. it begins !!

1) orotund : rich and full, relates to sounds
if i say your singing is orotund i mean it to be positive and encouraging ... if i call your speech orotund, it means i am saying it was pompous.. basically orotund means making an O shape with your mouth which is perfect when singing and pretentious when talking

2) bandied : bandy == discuss lightly , strike back and forth .. its supposed to be like brainstorming where we do not fixate on a particular idea and throw in new ones till we find something that fits
this is also related to hitting.. boxers bandy meaning hit back and forth before going for the kill .

3) evocative : something that serves as a way to bring something else to your mind.
like hearing the rainfall is evocative of a steaming cup of chai

4) floe: flat chunk of ice free floating in the ocean.. its supposed to be large or small, it is different than iceberg where depth is considered.

5) halcyon : days marked with peace and prosperity

6) qualm : a feel that you are doing something wrong .. uneasy feeling,

7) effusive : running water = gushing water= effusive water .
effusive female , burby, lively,  

8) elegiac : mournful or sad
